<br />LEE LOY: --yah—
<br />
<br />IKEDA: --and you need to meet the 50 feet.
<br />
<br />LEE LOY: --right, and we’ve already had preliminary discussions with the adjacent property
<br />owner, but what’s challenging is to go and get that type of agreement when we don’t even know
<br />if we’re gonna get the zone change. So, we don’t mind including that as a condition of approval
<br />or even a covenant against, you know, subdivision that those things need to be met prior to
<br />occupancy. And, I know Mr. Darrow expanded on that section. There’s some language within
<br />the concurrency law under that option to, that we could delay occupancy for, you know, certain
<br />things to be met, and we’d be willing to work with staff and even members of the County
<br />Council to look at refining that to make sure certain covenants were in place so that the
<br />properties couldn’t be transferred, to meet those types of requirements, but, more specifically,
<br />look at refining the water and how that’s—they only have one, one example of how to meet
<br />water, and I think, I think there’s some smart people out there who could tell you that 200 inches
<br />of water is more than enough for a single family resident.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Now, can I ask you some stupid questions?
<br />
<br />FREITAS: Sure.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Okay, you have a residence there?
<br />
<br />FREITAS: Yes, sir.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: And, how big is your water catchment?
<br />
<br />FREITAS: I have two water catchments on my property. One is 13,000 feet [sic], that’s right
<br />next to my house. I’m sorry, 13,000 gallons right next to my house, that I use for my residence.
<br />I have another 13,000 gallon tank on the top of my property which I use to water my cows—
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Okay—
<br />
<br />FREITAS: --just so you know also, Mr. Ikeda, when I purchased this property back in 2000, the
<br />easement was 15 feet. I purchased the property right before the temple that owns the property
<br />that has the ease—that has the easement purchased. My road, the cane road, is not within the 15-
<br />foot easement, so what I did, was I talked to the temple people, and I asked them if I could move
<br />my easement, instead of zero to 15, to 15 to 30, thinking that my cane road was in the 15 to 30-
<br />foot easement. They said sure, so I went and checked it. I was wrong. It’s in the 30 to 45 foot.
<br />So, what I did was I called the temple back up, and I said can I move it there? And, they said,
<br />well, what are we going to do with the other 30 feet? I said, I really don’t know. I’m just using
<br />the road. They said why don’t you just take the whole easement. Take the whole 45 feet,
<br />because, you know, the temple doesn’t really do much on that property. I don’t know if they do
<br />it for investing purposes or what, but I think, I’m not going to have a very difficult time
<br />convincing them to give me five more feet, when they’ve been kind enough to give me 45.
